Sources: Sean Hannity once pulled a gun on Juan Williams
« on: March 16, 2017, 10:02:25 pm »
SOURCE: CNN

URL: http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/16/media/sean-hannity-juan-williams-gun/

by Dylan Byers


The Wall Street Journal columnist who called Hannity the "dumbest anchor" on Fox News is a "jackass," according to Hannity. The forensic psychologist who suggested a blood vessel had popped inside Hannity's brain is a "jackass." Even the conservative MSNBC host who sometimes criticizes President Donald Trump is a "jackass."

If you criticize Hannity, or the Trump administration, there is a fair chance he will call you a "jackass" on Twitter. The chances of being called a "jackass" by Hannity are significantly higher late at night. Of the 21 people Hannity called a "jackass" in the last year, nearly half were told off between 9 p.m and 2 a.m. Hannity, Trump's biggest backer on television, has said this is entertainment for him: "I am a counterpuncher," he told one Twitter user who asked why he was so antagonistic. "I do not start fights but I finish them. This is pure entertainment for me. If people take cheap shots I hit back."

Still, Hannity's version of entertainment can go too far. Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident. He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams' body. (Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.)

For the record: Hannity's colleagues brought the Williams incident to the attention of Fox News executives, though it's not clear whether anything came of it. The sources said it went to Bill Shine, the network's co-president and longtime Fox News executive, who is Hannity's longtime friend and a former producer.

If Williams dismissed the gun incident then why bother with it?

I can't tell you how many times Juan made me want to punch the TV I can't image being in the studio with him.

Joke or not you don't pull a gun and point it at someone unless you intend to pull the trigger.

One of these days Sean's gonna have someone call his bluff on his tough guy routine.

CNN has officially transitioned into the same category as National Enquirer. Sources say, according to sources, several sources have confirmed, this is just spreading a rumor. If this happened, I don't think Juan would be too shy to talk about it.

I thought Hannity was a super MMA ninja, or so he constantly reminds everyone. He doesn't need a gun. His hands have been classified as deadly weapons.

There was a time I could listen to Hannity, that stopped when I started feeling the same about him about him as Juan. Pretty much the same reason I don't listen to Rush or tune into any network news program, radio or TV. I just can't want to abuse myself that way any more.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

“This incident is being sensationalized — everything was under total control throughout and I never felt like I was put in harm’s way,” Williams said, according to the CNN report. “It was clear that Sean put my safety and security above all else and we continue to be great friends.”

Yeah it's a weird non-denial downplay.


I'm not as into guns here, but we shot them at scout camp and I've shot shotguns and such. You never aim a gun at another human being, no matter if you think the chamber is empty, safety is on, etc.

I believed it simply because the only idiot who ever pointed a gun at me (aside from the police) screwing around was a blow hard rich kid I grew up who acts just like Hannity.
